BRIDE ZETA IV REIMS EVAR MODEL 02 RED HAEV02

The BRIDE ZETA IV REIMS EVAR MODEL 02 RED (product no. HAEV02) is a special edition fixed bucket seat with an Evangelion-themed livery, based on BRIDE’s ZETA IV platform.

This is a universal fixed bucket seat, meaning it can be installed in many performance-oriented vehicles — provided you have:

• Compatible seat rails for your car (BRIDE rails such as FO, FB, FK, etc.)  
• Enough interior space to accommodate a full bucket seat — typically sportscars, track builds, or tuner cars.

Although universal, users have successfully fitted ZETA IV in cars like the Toyota 86, Subaru BRZ, S2000, and various JDM imports with the right rail adapters.

Key Advantages of This Seat

1. Lightweight yet Rigid Construction

• Weighs approximately 8.3–8.5 kg, thanks to its FRP shell — reducing overall vehicle weight significantly compared to OEM seats.
• Incorporates advanced materials to improve shell rigidity by ~15% over older ZETA series.

2. Enhanced Driver Fit & Safety

• Designed using ergonomic data of typical Japanese stature (~170 cm / ~80 kg), with thigh-lifting and vertical back-slits to prevent low slippage (“submarining”) under braking.
• Conforms to Japanese Road Transport Vehicle Act standards; not FIA-approved ⇒ approved for street and club motorsport, but not international FIA competition.

3. Sporty Design with Full Back Cover

• The EVAR MODEL 02 features bold red and white EVAR styling, sleek stitching, faux-leather and flame‑retardant fabric covers.
• Fully covered outer panels hide mounting hardware and rails for a cleaner installation; allows you to skip an extra back protector in many vehicles.

4. Strong Track & Daily Use Blend

• Compared to other buckets, drivers note that although it’s initially snug, the ZETA IV series “breaks in” with use and becomes increasingly comfortable over time.
• Offers excellent lateral support for spirited driving, while still being usable for longer road trips once fitted.

5. LowMAX System Compatibility

• Shoulder width limited to ~560 mm, enabling better alignment with steering center in more vehicles — ensuring ergonomic positioning even in tight interiors.

Fitment Notes & Considerations

• Check seat rails: You must match your vehicle model to the BRIDE rail compatibility list (e.g., FK, FT, FG types).
• Interior clearance: Fixed buckets like ZETA IV can feel tight in narrow cabins (e.g., S2000s or 86/BRZ), especially for taller or broader drivers. Some users reposition angle and height for comfort.
• Passenger airbag/SRS: Check whether retention of airbag sensors is required; aftermarket rails may require modifications or disable sensors depending on car.

Summary

The BRIDE ZETA IV REIMS EVAR MODEL 02 RED (HAEV02) is ideal for drivers seeking:

• Extreme lightness (~8 kg) with solid structural rigidity
• Firm lateral support for aggressive driving
• A unique, co-branded aesthetic from the EVAR collaboration
• A balance between track performance and occasional daily usability

It suits cars with appropriate seat rails and interior space — common in performance and tuner platforms.
